Abstract

The article focuses on the life and legacy of architect Frank Gehry, who passed away at the age of 96. Known for his innovative and sculptural designs, Gehry gained international acclaim for projects such as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. His work, characterized by curvilinear forms and the use of computer-aided design, transformed contemporary architecture and inspired the "Bilbao effect," where cities sought iconic buildings to boost tourism. Gehry's career spanned several decades, during which he received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1989. [Extracted from the article]
